Banding textures are commonly observed in mineral crystals for example in sphalerites in Mississippi Valley-type deposit. Cellular Nonlinear Network (CNN) has been developed in the literature for characterizing complexity especially for reaction-diffusion dynamic systems. These include models describing periodic precipitation incorporating nucleation and banding pattern formation in minerals. B...

Abstract-The asymptotic stability regions for the patterned steady-state solution in a two-particle catalytic CSTR, established by Arce and Ramkrishna (1991, A.IC1I.E. J. 37,98-l lo), are constructed using two approaches, Liapunov’s direct method and the construction of a trapping region. In addition, the trapping regions are also constructed for uniform steady-state solutions. Stability region...

We show that reputation is a basic ingredient in the Virtual Organisation (VO) formation process. Agents can use their experiences gained in direct past interactions to model other’s reputation and deciding on either join a VO or determining who is the most suitable set of partners. Reputation values are computed using a reinforcement learning algorithm, so agents can learn and adapt their repu...
